Sustantivos y adjetivos terminados en -l, -r, -n, -d, -z, -j. Si no van precedidas de otra consonante, forman el plural con -es: dócil, pl. dóciles; color, pl. colores; pan, pl. panes; césped, pl. céspedes; cáliz, pl. cálices; reloj, pl. relojes. Los extranjerismos que terminen en estas consonantes deben seguir esta misma regla: píxel, pl. píxeles; máster, pl. másteres; pin, pl. pines; interfaz, pl. interfaces; sij, pl. sijes. Son excepción las palabras esdrújulas, que permanecen invariables en plural: polisíndeton, pl. (los) polisíndeton; trávelin, pl. (los) trávelin; cáterin, pl. (los) cáterin. Excepcionalmente, el plural de hipérbaton es hipérbatos.
If they do not precede the other consonant, form the plural with -es. And example is "dócil"; it becomes "dóciles". However, words such as "bufanda" (scarf), end with a vowel. In this case, you can simply just add an "s" at the end.
